Empirical Percentile Growth Curves with Z-scores Considering Seasonal Compensatory Growths for Japanese Thoroughbred Horses
Percentile growth curves are often used as a clinical indicator to evaluate variations of children's growth status. In this study, we propose empirical percentile growth curves using Z-scores adapted for Japanese Thoroughbred horses, with considerations of the seasonal compensatory growth that is a typical characteristic of seasonal breeding animals. We previously developed new growth curve equ...
متن کاملA growth chart for premature and other infants.
Gairdner, D., and Pearson, J. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 783. A growth chart for premature and other infants. The growth chart covers the period from 28 weeks of fetal life to age 2 years, and allows weight, length, and head circumference to be charted. The time scale is logarithmic, providing the convenience of an extended scale for the earlier months of life, and giving the...
متن کاملBronchopulmonary dysplasia and postnatal growth in extremely premature black infants.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) may adversely affect the postnatal growth of the extremely premature infant; however, most studies have not controlled for birth weight. We studied 90 Black premature infants (mean birth weight 989 +/- 148 g). Weight was recorded biweekly until discharge and at 4, 8, and 12 months of age corrected for prematurity. Infants with BPD (N = 23) were contrasted with i...
متن کاملMicafungin in Premature and Non-premature Infants
BACKGROUND Invasive fungal infections cause excessive morbidity and mortality in premature neonates and severely ill infants. METHODS Safety and efficacy outcomes of micafungin were compared between prematurely and non-prematurely born infants <2 years of age. Data were obtained from all completed phase I-III clinical trials with micafungin that had enrolled infants (<2 years of age) that wer...
متن کاملModified z-scores in the CDC growth charts
The CDC growth charts contain 10 smoothed percentiles (between the 3 and 97) of BMI for 24 to 240 month-old children and adolescents [3]. These smoothed estimates were subsequently used to derive lambda (L, the power transformation to achieve normality), mu (M, mean or median) and sigma (S, coefficient of variation) parameters for Cole's LMS method [4,5]. Estimates of these 3 parameters allow t...
